Creating your own Creamy Cajun Potato Soup is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious result:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and pour added broth into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
4. Incorporate Spices: Add the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for about 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Blend Soup: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until it’s creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.
7. Add Cream and Cream Cheese: Before returning the blended soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until melted and well incorporated.
8. Incorporate Corn: Add the corn kernels and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
9. Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the soup. Adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or Cajun seasoning for enhanced flavor.
10. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and any other desired toppings.
